Feature Artist
Maureen Glassman
After retiring to the beautiful coastal town of Southport, NC, Maureen’s love for coastal photography blossomed.
Her talent and dedication were evident through her active participation in photography clubs and her success in numerous art exhibitions. Maureen’s warm smile and supportive nature touched all who knew her, leaving a profound impact that will be dearly missed by family, friends, and the artistic community.
Maureen won first place in the WAA Spring Show photography division last year. Maureen passed away on October 13, 2025, may she rest in peace.
